Feature

Description

Interface modules. The Eclipse HX-Delta can house up to three interface modules. Blank panels can be installed for unused slots.

For more information, see Interface Modules.

LAN / PNL connector. Front to rear Ethernet / panel feed through

Interface cards. Up to four interface cards (two for the Delta Lite matrix) can be installed to the matrix. Blank panels can be installed to unused slots.

For more information, see Interface Cards.

CPU cards (P1 and P2). Two CPU cards are fitted to each Eclipse HX-Delta system (one for the Delta Lite matrix), in a master and slave relationship.

The second CPU card provides redundancy in the case of outages or planned maintenance. Only one rear-panel CPU card is required.

For more information, see CPU Card.

Power status and alarm lights

A range of power status and alarm lights are displayed on the front of the matrix. An alarm reset button (pressed using a pin) is located above the power status and alarm lights.

Under normal operating conditions, the red alarm lights remain off, while the green power supply lights stay on continuously.

The status and alarm lights comprise the following:

  • Power status light [Power Good]. When lit, this green status light indicates that the matrix is receiving power from at least one of the two external 12V power supplies.

  • Main alarm light [Alarm]. An alarm source triggers the red main alarm light and also one of the additional, specific red alarm lights, allowing you to identify or correct alarm conditions before they affect the operation of the matrix.

  • CPU card alarm light [Config Alarm]. When lit, this red alarm light indicates a CPU card failure. An audible alarm is given simultaneously.

  • External alarm light [Ext Alarm]. When lit, the red external alarm light indicates that an external alarm condition is present.

  • The external alarm is connected to the matrix through the 9-pin D-type connector on the matrix’s rear panel labeled Alarm I/O.

  • Temperature warning light [Overtemp]. When lit, this red warning light indicates that the matrix is above the maximum operational temperature limit and is in danger of overheating.

  • Internal PSU failure light [Int PSU Fail]. When lit, this red warning light indicates that the internal power supply has failed.

  • External PSU failure lights [Ext PSU Fail (1/2)]. There are two external PSU failure lights, one for each of the twin external 12V power supplies. When lit, the red warning light indicates that the external power supply has failed. If both lights are lit, both the power supplies have failed.

  • Fan failure lights [Fan Fail (1/2)]. There are two cooling fan failure lights, one for each of the two cooling fans in the matrix. When lit, the red warning light indicates that a fan has failed. If both lights are lit, both the fans have failed.

For more information, see Power Status and Alarm Lights.

Handle. There are handles on either side of the matrix to facilitate placing and removing the Eclipse HX-Delta in the 19” rack.
